Born on Rhydin 30 winters ago,
Caladan Hawkley was the son of a wealthy warlord and his wife. At the age
of 15, his parents were brutally slain, along with the rest of his family.
Somehow, a loyal servent managed to smuggle him to safety. Armed with only
his father's sword, and a newly gained title, young Caladan set out to make
his fortune, stopping back at his home only long enough to bury his family
and gather what possessions he had left.

Caladan worked as he roamed, never
staying in one place too long. He worked most frequently as an asassin, hired
by the wealthy to deal with "problems" as they called them. Never in one
place too long, fearing that he would be caught and killed, Caladan learned
the art of swordsmanship from several masters, eventually becoming a master
swordsman in his own right.

Eventually, he found himself standing
outside the gates of Castle DarkSky, tired of running, killing, and being
alone...He wondered if he would be accepted into this family, and was relieved
to see that he would be......

As he enters the battle arena,
you see that this man is formidable.. He stands 6'7, towering above most.
Although his size is impressive, both in height and build, brown eyes smile
softly, and auburn hair drapes down his back, loose from the ever-present
leather thong that usually keeps it gathered at the nape of his neck. His
deep tan suggests a life lived outdoors, and his voice is deep, yet soft,
lilting in a slight undefinable accent.

Caladan is a master swordsman,
and prefers the use of his broadsword, "Titan". He is, however, proficient
in the use of his dagger, and of the bow.

"His storyline fostered 91 posts between the
strings Hawk's Adventure
(SL) and
What befell to Hawk and Bess
after/during the melee. To my
knowledge, that makes it the second longest storyline in DarkSky history"
